Summary
Episode 25 of What's Cookin' with The McLemore Boys. John Browning built custom cabinets for a living — until a broken turkey call for his daughter turned into a business he never planned on. Nine years later, he's lost his co-founder, watched his cabinet shop burn to the ground, and built something he calls "a ministry disguised as a turkey call company." This one's a full ride: grief, faith, and a turkey hunt in Wyoming that got them all talking about what it really means to give something over to God. John Browning, co-founder of Pistol Creek — custom turkey calls built in Dahlonega, Georgia https://www.instagram.com/johnbrowning_pc/ https://pistolcreekoutdoors.com/ https://www.facebook.com/PistolCreekoutdoors/ https://www.instagram.com/pistol_creek/ https://www.youtube.com/@pistolcreek4324 In this episode: The origin of Pistol Creek's name — a muddy, unremarkable creek on the family property, suggested by John's daughter Emma when they needed a name fast Losing co-founder Austin Long in 2023, and how Austin's own faith journey grew out of the friendship they built making turkey calls together The "We The People" box set — a limited run of 76 turkey calls built to honor America's 250th birthday, complete with a laminated Constitution soundboard Why John walked away from a successful cabinet business after it burned down in 2024, and chose to go all-in on Pistol Creek instead Faith, Family, Food, Fun, and Freedom — this one leans hard into Faith and Freedom, with a Wyoming hunt and a verse (Esther 4:14) that's been carried in John's family for generations.
